Yes it was officially said by a Toyota spokesperson that the intention is to bring the performance:value ratio that the old AE86 corolla did in the 80's. The working code for the new co-developed Toyota Subaru coupe is also 086A, which gives an obvious clue as to the spiritual ancestor of the new coupe. Now that Akio is in charge, I really do have faith in Toyota bringing back performance vehicles, and other than the 086A, and the LF-A, I'm sure we'll be hearing about a higher end coupe (supra replacement) in the coming years.

I'm not going to lie, a lot of tC owners do rice out their cars. These are the individuals who usually just got their cars and just want to start modding in any way possible. Though than again, there are tC owners who do have clean cars and do only buy expensive quality parts. The way I see it is, if your a car enthusiast it shouldn't even matter if the tC gets an upgrade like that, see it has a compliment. I use to drive a tC, but just recently traded it in for a 07 2.5i.

(Story behind the picture is that I hydrolocked my engine before this, they forced the O2 sensor off my header because it seized onto it. Instead of putting a new header, they rethreaded it. I paid $7000+ for repairs and then when I was driving one day, my O2 sensor decides to fall off and my car begins to knock and I have toyota red coolant everywhere in my engine bay, they tired to blame me for it, but after arguing I got it fully paid, this is when it was getting towed for the 02 sensor and coolant.
I don't know if you guys would consider it rice or not.

Pop the vented hood on the Focus RS and you'll find a 2.5-liter turbocharged Duratec 5-cylinder tuned to dish out 300 PS (295 hp) and 302 lb-ft (410 Nm). All that juice is directed to the front wheels -- a passport to Torque Steer Hell under normal circumstances. In the case of the RS, however, Ford has developed a front suspension system unique to the car that it dubs,"RevoKnuckle". It works in concert with a Quaife Automatic Torque Biasing limited-slip differential to mitigate the effects of the torque steer enemy

No, not rice at all, and I don't know why people here get down on the scions as being rice. Rice, is well... IMHO, any car that looks like it drove into the pep boys accessory isle and came out with one of everything. Hell I saw a WRX style scoop...on a "donk" and yes I would call that idiot rice too even if it was an American car.
